The regular communion ser vices will be held at the morn- in Ohio! Once in Europe, the girls will scatter in four directions to carry out a unique, -two-month education project started three yeas ago by Lake Erie college in Painesville. Ohio. . One girl will study baroque organs and organ music in Goet tingen, Germany. Another will investigate housing projects in Copenhagen, Denmark. "We write a thesis on our project and we must keep a diary of our impressions of the things we see," Barbara Ledich, 20, explained. "We aren't graded on them. We only pass or we fail. If we fail it's a loss of 10 credits and that is disastrous." Entire Junior Class Miss Ledrich, an elementary education . major from Cincin nati, and the other girls who sailed today on the liner Queen Elizabeth represent the entire junior class of the private girls' college. The trip is included as part of the tuition for the four year students. "Most of us try to pck a, proj ect that we couldn't study in a library here," she said. She is the"one who picked Copenhagen housing projects. "I understand they have elim inated slums with their proj ects," Miss Ledrich said seri ously. "I decided to pick this in stead of something directly con nected with my major, elemen tary education, because it should broaden my interests." Businesslike Attitude The girls all reflect the busi nesslike attitude toward the trip that Miss Ledrich expressed. Usually they end their stay with a well-chaperoned fling in Paris or a trip to Italy, but most of the two months is spent working on the projects they . picked and learning how the people live by boarding with a local family. Sixteen will go to Copenhag en, nine to Trogen, Switzerland, 17 to Grenoble, France, and three to Goettingen, Germany. In each city the head of the lo cal university is the head of the Erie College committee super vising the girls. They, already have studed the language of the country to which they plan to travel, except the Copenhagen visitors, since the college gives no Danish language course. '. Each girl lives with a family that represents approximately the same income level as her own family back home. . Diaries from past years show that two things amaze the girls the most about their midwinter term abroad. "The lack of central heating and the late dinner hours,' a college official said. "And most of the girls come back convinced they don't know enough about their own country. They're ask ed so many questions by the peo ple they meet oyer there."
